Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Leadership Pill
Kenneth H. Blanchard · 2003
72/100
👍 Worth It
Ken Blanchard's parable format drives home a simple, memorable point: there's no shortcut to real, sustainable leadership. It's short and deliberately simplified rather than comprehensive, but that's the nature of a fable, and it's an easy, worthwhile read from a genuinely trusted name in the field.
